So yeah, as announced on ROH TV this week, it's going to be Kevin Steen challenging Davey Richards for the ROH World Title. The Package Piledriver will be able to be used by Steen too. I don't see a change happening just yet, especially since this event most likely won't make it onto iPPV. But they'll continue the feud until around Final Battle when Steen will likely win the title (IMO)

Also, I don't know if anyone saw the last Videowire, but Truth paid Nana something like $60,000 for Rhino. Whether that means Rhino is the newest member of the HOT remains to be seen, but i'd be keen to see Rhino stick around.

Won't be a way to see it except for when the DVD comes out. This leads me to believe Steen won't get the belt now, but I really doubt Richards keeps it until Final Battle. They need to get the belt off of him and onto Steen as soon as possible. I think they'll do it at Best in the World. Richards doesn't deserve a title reign longer than a year.

na i fully expect davey to retain, i think when Steen does win the belt it will be on a bigger stage Final Battle, Anniversary show, MM on IPPV so more people will pay to see it.

From what I just read on PWInsider, it's going to be an iPPV. So a title change could actually happen now...

I would love Finlay vs Elgin actually. Elgin needs something pretty big after SitS.

Throw in some guys from CZW to challenge for the Tag Team Straps and let Finlay and Callihan end their Indy feud

I think Sami is under contract to DGUSA, so I wouldn't expect him to face Finlay. Besides, CZW and DGUSA have their own thing going. I don't want to see any more CZW people in ROH. That feud is done and dusted. The present is ROH's feud with CHIKARA.

Good news about them changing their iPPV provider too. GFL seems to have let them down quite a bit recently, so hopefully whoever they go with, won't have the same problem

According to the spoilers for the upcoming TV episodes, if Steen loses he never gets a shot at the ROH World Title again, according to the contract he signs.
